difference between -4an and just 4an? - SRT Forums

I'm looking for a -4AN and -12AN. Anyone know the sizes that the -4an and -12an translate into in standard sizes, like 1/4" 1/8" etc.

a -6 hose has an I.D. of 3/8"
a -8 hose has an I.D. of 1/2"

Just for further reference, AN sizes go by 16th's. IE a 6AN line would be 6/16..reduce the fraction and you have 3/8"..and so on.

Keep in mind that the -AN connectors have unique pitch threads and flare angles compared to NPT. so a -6an would not necessarily work with any 3/8 fitting
